Princess Of Thorns

He deftly pulls out a card
He already knows what it will be
It's the Queen of Hearts
And he winks and points at me
But deep down I know
This is all a big game
And I can't even let it go
My tears fall like an angry rain
Every day is another twist of the knife
That he unconsciously placed in my soul
And every time I try to run
The chain pulls tight and I can't go
We've wrapped our thorny vines of love
So tight around the other's heart
And when I want to pull away
Each tiny prick makes me fall apart
So tell me what I'm supposed to do
While we recycle our love into scorn
I'm no Queen and I'm squeezing your heart
I'm only your Princess of Thorns
